Brennan and Caleb saved up their birthday and christmas money and bought themselves each a bike while we were visiting Gege and Papa in Springfield, Mo. The boys were both excited and they each did an excellant job with the training wheels on. I was so proud of Brennan for finally figuring out how to peddle. He could not grasp the concept before, but this time he was off and moving. Just shows that tests and numbers mean nothing. He is amazing and that is all the I care about.

They kept saying "I want to ride offroad".... lol, in the dirt!!!

I found my old blog from when the boys where little. Please feel free to check it out. Brennan was 4yrs old at the time and Caleb was 1yr old. Cute stories that brought back some good memories. They all grow up way to fast.

Enjoy!!

Deciding to write a blog again came to me this morning as a passing thought. Almost as passing as what I should eat for breakfast or what I should wear today. I honestly have other things on my mind today, such as what are my sons re-evaluations from speech, ot and pt are going to look like. Has he made any improvement or is he still at a four and a half year old level on pragmatics and social skills?? Has his fine motor and large motor skills improved.?? He has been working on learning to climb up and down stairs for the last two years at school, but last I knew he still wasn't where they wanted him to be. Is he making improvement or is a regressing. Today we are going back for another therapy session with his PT, OT and Speech Therapist and I am hoping to recieve the results of last weeks evaluations. I am also hoping for better behavior at this weeks session. His sessions in total last 3 hours so I sometimes leave and return at the end. Last week I returned to him throwing over chairs and hitting and kicking his therapist. She asked if this is normal, sadly I had to admit yes it is. With Cri du Chat and Asbergers as well, comes aggression. I worry for my son and I worry for the ones he is aggressive too, even myself. Insurance will not cover the therapy he needs for behavior and alone we cannot afford it. Sad but true. I am thankful for the school district agreeing to help him get this needed therapy and those services will start in the fall when school resumes. I hope and pray that we will get him over this hump and that he will not always have these aggressive tendencies and be on medications. I will be honest, sometimes, I am just tired. But God/Jesus Christ will sustain me. There is a reason for everything. Many times, the questions remains the same ~ WHY?
